Run a CAMentrepreneurs City Group

This form is for people who want to run a CAMentrepreneurs branch. Before you start to fill in this form I recommend you watch this 5 minute video introducing why people choose to run a CAMentrepreneurs group  https://youtu.be/-CPHrAyLOYg 

read our goals, purpose and values  and  How to set up a local branch. If you have any questions please contact Richard Lucas  richardlucas@richardlucas.com

We want to organise high quality events, add value and be useful.

In places where there is a thriving entrepreneurship support eco-system and/or a local alumni chapter this may well be in partnership with existing organisations. We encourage you to try a pilot event.  As you will see in our "Starting a new branch*" guide - the first step is to understand the local entrepreneurship support ecosystem in your area. 

Cambridge University’s official alumni support office is here

Our main site for networking with other alumni is here https://camentrepreneurs.mn.co

Our Linkedin Group is here https://www.linkedin.com/groups/12012315

Our Global Newsletter is here https://camentrepreneursglobal.substack.com

Our main website is here www.camentrepreneurs.com

Our official listing is here www.alumni.cam.ac.uk/group/camentrepreneurs

This group is for entrepreneurial alumni who have started a business (and/or want to) and would like  to

a)  help students  

b) network with other alumni.

c) otherwise get involved

I wrote a manifesto for the group here

http://richardlucas.com/2016/11/time-for-a-revolution-in-alumni-student-relations-with-respect-to-entrepreneurship/

 which gives a sense of my perspective.

I believe there is a big issue of alumni not being as actively engaged as they could be in the places they studied. This applies to many places not just Cambridge.   The time has come for  change, in which Cambridge can play a leading role.

Goals of CAMentrepreneurs

1 To facilitate and encourage transfer of know how, contacts and capital to and from businesspeople/entrepreneurs among the alumni of Cambridge University to each other, current entrepreneurial students, and others.

2. To give current students access to role models among entrepreneurial alumni who can help transmit the message that business success is possible.

3. to celebrate the business success of alumni

4, To work with and encourage existing alumni associations to include entrepreneurship support in their activities

5 to provide a business friendly environment where pro enterprise people from different organisations  can meet and get to know each other, and develop their networks.    We are "Cambridge and... ", not "Cambridge only... ". 

6.  To broaden and deepen the number of entrepreneurs active in alumni events.

7. To provide a platform and vehicle so that members and leaders can promote initiatives of relevance to their local area.

8. To provide a global network so that when members of CAMentrepreneurs are travelling they have local points of contact.

9. To ensure that events organised by CAMentrepreneurs are worth the time and effort participants put in by attending, are interesting, useful and enjoyable.

10.  To encourage a pro-active atmosphere of initiative, contribution and sharing, where we encourage members to think how they can contribute and make an impact with or through the organisation.
